35-20 with the 2nd best home record in the West. They are getting downright SCARY now!
The talent is there. Especially Roy. But add Oden and Rudy this season makes a big difference. Anyone watching Roy's final game at UW versus UConn in the sweet 16 knew this guy was a clear NBA talent. He was way way better than Rudy Gay in that game.
scary if they trade the scrub oden for picks or someone that could play
or blake is underrated
I did.
Wake me up when they start defending.
they still have a soft frontcourt
Downright scary as in everyone wants them as thier 1st round matchup?
they still have big weakness at pg and sf. they have depth but average people occupying those spots. their youth serves as a positive with energy but a negative for playoff time
who have they played tough?
they still got to play the spurs 2 times
there a scrub team spurs will beat them in 5 games
I think the talent has been there for awhile. All that's new is that they are finally doing something with that talent. If only Mr. Glass (aka Greg Oden) could stay healthy.........
Another important thing is that they got rid of all the troublemakers. For awhile there, thay had become the Dallas Cowboys/LA Raiders of the NBA.
no they don't...
They still have a soft team period...
Not buying what the Blazers are selling. No defense, too soft, been beating scrub teams @ home lately.l
But obviously their future is bright.
The only problem we have is a lack of respect from the refs. They don't give us all the calls like veteran teams such as the Lakers and Spurs get.
if duncan got the calls that james,wade and kobe gets
they would have 6 more w's
Humm.. what about defence - especially on-the-ball screen/rolls that you're forced to switch, lack of inside scoring and struggling to play uptempo?
Portland sux
We'll see how scary those mother ers are Tuesday.
You thought they were going to win the championship last year.
So I guess I'd say other delusional Blazer fans such as yourself.
LOL tlong never gives up. blazers are a nice young team but nowhere near a contender. they dont have any interior defense with oden not even scratching the surface of what people expected him to be in portland. sorry but they being a 5-8 seed was something we expected. they are 3 losses away from being out of the playoff picture right now......
Ttlong again with the Blazers overrating.
i love the fact that you leave off the "17-15" conference record "5-4" division record and "12-15" on the road. they arent going to get HC in the playoffs so how are they gonna win a game 7 on the road? im sure the bulk of those conference wins were against the clippers, wolves, thunder, etc. so how are they gonna win in the playoffs when they play superior teams if they cant have a above .500 record against teams like the lakers spurs jazz hornets nuggets etc.?
Yes, I would be worried too if I were a Laker fan. You can see that we're improving by the week. We're the only team in the league that has as much size as you. And we're younger than you. How awful would it be for you if we took you out? And shattered your dream? With our youth you would never have another chance.
First round fodder... Second round at best...
I actually thought they would be better... so I can honestly answer... not me.
1st round exit material.
